I was invited to a pre-view event for the M3 2 weeks ago and I can confirm the car does look like your renders. The one thing that surprised me is that the grill wasn't as bad as I was expecting it to be.

The part you are missing in your rendering is the fact that there is a place for a number plate, and that visually cuts the grill in half. The license plates here in Europe being wide (versus USA plates) so the place for the plate completely splits the grill in an upper and bottom part. And that split helps a lot. There were 8 people in the pre-view room with me and the overwhelming opinion was that it actually looked good.
Europe question for you - a lot of people in the US won't put a front plate on their car even through their state law requires it (I didn't have one for 17 years until it finally became legal to not have one this year). Do people in Europe defy the laws and go front-plateless?
